Sutton Suzuki Architects

A special design feature was to use passive means of climate control to temper the house in summer so as not to require air-conditioning and to limit the heat load in winter

Techniques included building the house into the hillside to use the earth to naturally cool in the summer and retain heat in the winter;

Design around existing large oak trees for shade in summer.
